Abstract
Many kinds of treatment for vertigo have been reported, but complete cure of it is still difficult. We tried Theraptique which is known as the stimulant of respiratory centre, on the patients with vertigo, and recorded the changes of positional nystagmus with ENG.
Remarkable effect was observed in 6 out of 15 patients, comparative effect in other 6 and no effect at all in the rest.
We considered that the inhibitbry action of this drug upon nystagmus or dizziness was caused not only by the increases of blood flow in labyrinth but also by the central inhibition of nystagmus and some influence of autonomic nervous system.
